WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney will suspend his campaign, a Republican Party source said on Thursday, a decision that would make Sen. John McCain the all-but-certain nominee of his party.
"Romney's run a good campaign and he can live to fight another day," said the source familiar with the situation, speaking on condition of anonymity. "He has a huge future in the party nationally."
He had vowed to fight on after Super Tuesday, but he and his campaign advisers discussed the situation on Wednesday. Romney has been helping to bankroll his campaign using his own personal wealth.
